ACADIA 13: Adaptive Architecture (2013)
abstract⁄Cast Thicket is a prototypical instillation that furthers earlier research into tensile concrete molds through the use of plastic formwork and a layered structural network. Leveraging the fluid materiality of concrete and the machinability of polypropylene, Cast Thicket creates a lacy network of thin members that disperse and coalesce to address structural and spatial needs. Proposed as an application for tall concrete buildings, the research responds to the 2012 APPLIED Research through Fabrication competition.
